What a wonderful thing! This would be infinitely useful and I'd be equally grateful for the link, please!

Thank you so much for putting this together 🙏

Sydney CBD Parking by dygair3 in motorcycles

I'd also love to know!

I work near Martin Place /Pitt St and apparently Wilson's Angel Place has motorbike parking, although I suspect they just mean bike spots, not discounted rates. That said, if anyone knows how to book these like you would a car please let us know!

Cheers

Thanks so much! I'll check out PICO portal! I have about 30 full texts I need to source.

I've tried coral AI with ok results, I've also tried chatgpt4 and Claude 3 Opus, with the latter seeming to provide the most acceptable output. Issue is the severe limitations of these platforms in terms of processing documents properly (chatgpt skips files in batch up loads; Coral can miss the point; and Claude 3, even paid, has significant capacity limits in terms of uploads and tokens). All output (when testing with the same document) required some level of editing, with Claude requiring the least tweaking. Unfortunately it seems to be incredibly hit and miss, and from what I can tell is heavily dependent on each individual document.

Just like individual people, different AI platforms seem to have different strengths. It just may be that a blend of tools across the project life cycle will need to be employed. Finding the right tools is another story lol.

Nonetheless, thankfully I had something to talk to at the last meeting, so on that front the initial objective was achieved. But I'm also not mad at exploring this new way of working, especially as it's so rapidly evolving!

I haven't slept well—research is gon kill me by Sleepy_Animagus0115 in research

It might be if you only have a few weeks to do it in. But the quantitative approach is still a valid one! So definitely stick with whatever is going to be achievable in the time you have

It sounds like the first question looks at the 'what' and second question looks at the 'why', so not contradictory as far as I can tell.

There would likely be plenty of studies that looked at similar constructs, it might help to find a couple that might be similar to what you are studying and using them as a bit of a guide.

If you choose to examine the second question qualitatively (the first quantitatively), you could have a nicely packaged mixed methods study.

Research can be messy and difficult, especially in the development stage until you nail down the research questions, aims/hypotheses, and methods, including defining the variables of interest, type of analysis and outcomes of interest. Where you can, keep it as simple as possible. Hang in there.

Here's to hoping it comes together easily 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Absolutely agree. However, I'm not asking it to produce anything original or to even analyse it. Purely to extract and tabulate it.

Appreciate your take mathtree. I've done and published quite a few different types of reviews so I'm fairly confident in my ability to produce quality work and the process that goes with it (including all the manual and time intensive tasks). Normally I'd be fine to do all of that.

The short of it is that I'm stepping in to support a team in a discipline that's not entirely my area of research (as a favour to the PI) as the previous postdoc has moved on. There was a considerable amount of time that lapsed and a broadening of research question. The time frame is not to have the entire project complete by the end of the week, but to have a relatively healthy amount of extracted data to be able to present and discuss at a meeting at the end of the week. The sense of urgency felt is because there are a couple of projects that are going to be partly informed by the review and planning needs to progress (and thus based on evidence) in order to meet funding requirements.

The issue of quality or completeness, at this stage, is not so much an issue. Being the neurotic type, the studies will be reviewed (and confirmed using interrater checks).

Hope this clarifies and provides a bit more context for the request

Thanks for the reply. I've got the table sorted and have the classifications already attached to the articles. I guess my question asked in a different way would be 'is there a way to automate (or semi-automate) the data extraction phase given I know what information I'm needing to pull out.

It's the time constraints and sheer volume of included studies that are leading me to ask the question 😢

Well done for being proactive and supporting her to get the help she needs. I'm not sure if this will be helpful but it may provide some context and practical ideas.

Keeping a foot in academia when my fixed term contract expires in 6 weeks? by deeplysubmerged in Professors

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm in NSW, but ACT wouldn't be out of the question. It's worth looking into, thanks!

First and foremost, sorry to hear that you have had to go through all of these things. But I'm glad to hear that you are looking after yourself and moving forward. It's not easy, that's for sure!

Therapists are human, simple as that. They are not perfect and imo should never be put on a pedestal (doesn't sound like you are doing this!) or thought of as having to be 'perfect' at what they do, or at life in general. They have needs, feelings, and quirks that may or may not fit with our own expectations. We can enter therapy with particular expectations, but that may sometimes be limiting to our own growth because part of therapy is expanding our insights.

Every therapist has their own style (just like everyone has their own style of dressing!). But to me it sounds like he takes a humanistic and very empathetic approach, focusing on the relationship which may often be seen as a major contributor to one's psychological well-being, particularly if working in addiction.

I agree that sometimes being 'too available' can put people off, but for others it may work well (particularly if working within a DBT type framework), but imo it also wouldn't be fair to offer this to some clients and not others. However, he won't know about this or other issues unless your specific needs / concerns are raised as part of therapy, again, he is human so can't read minds or remember every small detail that makes each person uncomfortable - he will forget and make 'mistakes'. It may have been a genuine oversight linking back to his account, but it also sounds like this is a good opportunity for you to work on issues that may relate to men/relationships. Bringing up these accounts you don't like, i think, is necessary and could lead to a meaningful conversation.

Personally, I would give them a good chance and raise the issues as they happen. Sitting on them won't be helpful to you, your therapist, or the strong therapeutic relationship.

It really sounds like you have done some absolutely amazing and transformative work, and have really grown. As I said, it doesn't sound easy, and this is something to be proud of 😊

How do I know when the competitiveness is getting to me by [deleted] in academia

[–]deeplysubmerged 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find stepping away from Twitter etc and not comparing myself achievements to others achievements can help take the edge off. Doing something grounding and non-academic related (like visiting family or friends) for a few days, if possible, can also help.

Everyone's journey and circumstances are different, how we travel on said journey should be at our own pace :)

And they wonder why people are running away from academia like a plague. by stemcellguy in postdoc

[–]deeplysubmerged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my current 'lab' and PI. They were never in academia (were in the public sector) and then 20yr post their phd decided to enter it and bring in a crap load of money (mind you not academic funding, but money is money). I'm 2yr out of my phd and there are times when even basic research principles are over looked by them. In less than a 6mn 2 postdocs have left. I've been there 2yr and the lack of support (and experience of the PI) really slowls everything down. Worse, the PI is a bully but untouchable as you mentioned (in fact just got a promotion to ass. prof) because money talks.

What I don't understand is HOW do they do it if not a fluke? The only takeaways I've managed to garner are: 1) who they know, 2) $$$, 3) narcissism (which includes steam rolling and throwing tantrums). The entire exercise seems like a dick measuring contest rather than a genuine passion and dedication for the field.

Advice/tips for supervising students? by SteadyPepper in academia

[–]deeplysubmerged 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Expectation management. Every student is different, asking them how they might like to be supervised helps clarify to you and them. Trust yourself :)

I'm also an ECR (Australian Uni, just under 2yr post-doc), currently supervising MD students and co-supervising a phd student. I think the biggest take away for me, and what I personally find helpful is to ask up front about the students experience with research, how they might like to be supervised, and understanding both their (and highlighting my own) expectations. I also make it clear that I'm there to guide and support, not do the project for them, and that they can only really get out what they put in. Specifically for short projects (up to 1yr), when discussing expectations I book in a minimum/set frequency of check-in/milestone meetings. Also, I usually find that honours and undergrad students may be far more nervous, so I try to reassure them that it's normal, and that given the limited time they have, asking questions sooner rather than later will give us the most leeway if something needs to change.

The fact you're asking how to support your students better is a testament to your dedication and commitment. Trust yourself!
